ATTACHMENT #2 NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES TWIN LAKE LAND DEVELOPMENT THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2007 6:30 P.M. The City Administrator welcomed those present to the neighborhood to discuss the City’s development of the 4.63-acre parcel located on the north side of Twin Lake Boulevard and west of Banker’s Drive. This is the second meeting held on this topic. (The first was on 7/20/05.) The City Administrator introduced himself and Mr. Steve Grittman, the City Planner. The City Administrator stated that the consensus after the last neighborhood meeting favored the construction of townhome or single family for the site. Multiple family (senior housing) was not felt to be a good use. He went on to explain that the City had taken proposals for the sale of some land along County Road B. We received a proposal for an assisted living senior project. While the City Council did not like that location for an assisted living project (due to the commercial/industrial nature of the area), they did feel the concept had merit. Specifically, they liked the potential for residents to continue to age in the community through assisted living when independent living was not possible and nursing home care was not needed. As a result, the Council asked staff to discuss this idea with the Twin Lake area relative to the parcel of land we own. The City Administrator emphasized that this is not traditional senior housing. He handed out some materials that defined assisted living and provided a comparison of the different types of senior housing. (See copy attached.) He also presented the schematic drawing for the assisted living proposed on the County Road B site to give those present an idea of what one may look like. (He did caution those present that this drawing should not be construed as the specific project, as other options are possible.) The City Administrator also reviewed the traffic access concepts that staff felt made sense for whatever project was chosen. Specifically, that a street be constructed on the north side of the parcel with access from Banker’s Drive and Twin Lake Boulevard. The benefits of this approach are that the need for multiple access points on Twin Lake Boulevard is minimized, the road would help buffer 5 Star Estates from this project (especially if coupled with plantings/screenings along the north property line, and the road may help address the grade differential issues that exist along Twin Lake Boulevard and this parcel. The City Planner also discussed trip generations from various developments. He noted that an assisted living project would generate about three trips per day per unit. A single family home generates about 10 trips per day. Thus, a 40 unit assisted living project
